Response: I'm glad that ya'll liked them! I used to have a really big plate to use as a template, but I couldn't find it, so I had to make the cones wider than I usually do, and they kept tipping over after I filled them, grr. So I had the great idea of putting some rocks in the bottom to balance them, haha! I'm glad that everyone liked the stuff in them... I was worried that the stuff for Katie wouldn't be as interesting as the stuff for Jamie (if he's anything like Chy when it comes to WebKinz). I'm also glad that you liked the spices... Mitch kept assuring me that ya'll had probably never had a Moon Pie, but I can't imagine a person never having seen one before, so I decided to go with a spice rub, also. Who can't use more spices? :-D I'm also really glad that you liked the colors... I was worried that your cone looked too simple, but I didn't want to put anything more on it since I went with the idea to use a turquoise scarf as a handle. Ya'll are welcome, and I'm overjoyed that ya'll liked it! :-)

Response: Those were the kind you prefer, then? Yay!!! Since I'm Catholic, I'm familiar with Milagros, but I didn't know if you had a specific need or if you wanted them to craft with, and it took me days to finally decide on the "replica" of the human body. I'm glad I made a decent choice and that you liked them!

Response: I'm glad that you liked it! When I noticed that they had only one of those boxes left, I had to get it... even though I had nothing to use it for... and I thought it would be perfect for the swap. Filling it was a little harder, because I kept knocking it over or squishing it while I was rearranging things. I hope that it didn't end up reaching you TOO banged up!

Response: I'm glad that you don't mind that it's not the traditional swap! I wanted you to get something before V-Day, and this was the only thing I could possibly think of. Happy Valentine's!

Response: Valentine's, of course! I think that Grimm is gonna host it, but she's going to up it to two partners and we're gonna send an envie, too. That way we can open something for the party. :-D

Response: You're right... I think I'm gonna set one up for New Years! This was a really fun idea for Christmas.

Response: Bah, there's no such thing as too much! It was fun to order things for you... and do a little shopping for myself in the process. ;-) I hope you have fun when Luther gets back!

Response: I'm so glad that you liked it!!!

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed your package! :-D

Response: You're more than welcome!

Response: I'm snickering to see four ratings from you, one on top of the other. Hee!

Response: LoL!!! I tried to cross genres, but EBM / Industrial isn't for everyone. :-D I'm glad that you liked some of the songs!

Response: I was taking a chance on the candles, so I'm really glad that you liked it all! They smell so nice, don't they? Mmm. I haven't seen them since I move away from the Gulf Coast, so I ended up buying the entire stock when I saw them for sale here in Tennessee. Yummy!

Response: I'm glad that you liked the package! I learned French wire beading last year, and the only hanks I had left were of black beads, so... black rose! LoL. Have fun on your trip!

Response: I had a problem with the soundtrack... I kept getting too involved in the book to make notes, heh. So I'm glad that you liked it! :-D

Response: I'm glad you liked it! I loved swapping with you, also.

Response: Bwahahaha!!! Let me know what you think of the book if you read it - I saw it at the store and thought it was interesting, then started to page through it before I made myself stop because it was for you. Too bad I didn't find the original penis until Mitch had mailed the package to you... it would have went perfectly with the book, because I was going to make a book thong! Grr.

Response: I'm so glad you liked it and that it got there in time for your birthday!!! :-D

Response: Yay! I was sure that it had gotten lost... I'm glad that you actually got it!!!

Response: I couldn't find any "dessert" flavored glosses or balms in any other brand, so I was worried that my package might disappoint you. I'm really glad that you like them!

Response: I'm really glad you like it! I wasn't sure what you might want the most, so I took a gamble and picked out something that I thought was cute, too.

Response: That's great! As I said, they're "fluff" reading... but I figured it might come in handy on the days when you don't really feel like doing much.

Response: I'm really glad that you like the things I chose! I thought that those two items paired well, and they seemed to be "you" from what I gathered from your profile. I'm glad that I wasn't wrong!

Response: I'm glad you liked it! And, thanks for my 100th heart! :-D

Response: It was not a problem at all - I'm really glad that you liked them enough to want the files! ;-) And, woohoo, thank you for my 125th five!

Response: You're more than welcome!

Response: I'm glad that you like it - it's one of my favorites! It's unique, eh?

Response: You're more than welcome! I was surprised when I came across that one, also... as I said, it isn't the best cover I've ever heard (in either sound or vocal quality, heh), but it's pretty nifty!

Response: What man wouldn't, if it has the proper effect?! ::grins::

Response: I wish that there were some recent books on moon gardens in circulation... they're so ethereal! The garden plans you can find online for them are actually better than the outdated books, though, so do a search for "moon garden plans"... there are so many designs that I like but can't try because of the way that the house sits at the bottom of a hill. :-( I'm glad you liked everything!

Response: Ooh, I'll have to ask about that! Some of the cover art was too cute (or nifty) for me to remove so much of it, so I left the center on and figured that everyone would just pop it off after seeing it. If I ever do that again, I'll have to make a note of it... thanks for telling me!

Response: I'm glad that you like them! I was worried that you might not and would be stuck with two books that you didn't care for, heh. It always bugs me that our bookstore never seems to have anything other than the last book in a series in stock!

Response: Thanks! I'm glad that it being printed doesn't bother you... after destroying a few journals, I finally gave up and opened MS Word.

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you have a lot of the songs that I chose, please feel free to PM me and let me know which ones, and I'd be happy to send an extra CD and hopefully introduce you to a few more new songs.

Response: I'm glad that the way I burned the CD's (by genre) wasn't too annoying. ;-) It's funny how swaps usually end up in the possession of your boyfriend / fiance / husband, isn't it? Heh.

Response: I hope that our tastes aren't so similar that you already had everything I picked! :-X Crap, I can't remember what images I used for the CD labels... I think I accidentally deleted it. Grrr! Anyway, I used a regular Avery CD label template, pasted the picture into the cell, expanded it so that it overlapped the cell (otherwise it would have been way too small), then created a text box for the title. I have to pick and choose which mixes to put a label on... ink is so freakin' expensive now! It's the only fun I get to have since I decided to go green and not use CD cases. Hm... I should start decorating the sleeve thingies... hm.

Response: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed reading it!

Response: Thank you! I'm glad that I could be a little amusing! ;-)

Response: Those are my favorites, also... I'm glad you liked them, also!

Response: I actually ran out of discs before I did music... I forgot that I had a lot on the laptop! LoL!

Response: I'm glad that you liked it (and that it got to you after the no-delivery-confirmation scare!). Since the stores didn't carry a lot of things that were on your wishlist, I was taking a stab at what you might like... I'm glad that I was able to pick out some nice things for you!

Response: If it makes you feel any better, I got more of a kick out of it then I probably should have, too. I think that it was the repetitive "you're going to die... but not *really*" theme that got me to snickering, heh.

Response: Thanks! I'd claim the credit, but it was all WinAmp's doing. I think that it's a little jealous of the .mp3 player and was trying to send me a message. ;-)

Response: LoL, thanks! I don't know know why WinAmp decided that I should die!

Response: I wish that there had been more of a variety, but the music didn't want to cooperate... After I was done, all I could think was, "How did I end up drawing all of the 'DIE, YOU HORRIBLE MONSTER, DIE!' songs?! When I got answers that didn't involve me being strapped into an electric chair, becoming a ghost, or rising from the dead, I was actually surprised! So many different genres with such similar themes, ha!

Response: Thanks! It seems like WinAmp was on a Zombie kick... I had to cheat because I kept pulling various remixes of "Superbeast". Now that I look over it again, it is amusing that I went through country, metal, dark cabaret, rock, industrial, and pop. I'm still gaping a little at some of the songs I came up with! LoL!

Response: Glad you liked it, darlin'! I'll take another look at the swaps you've been flaked on and see if I can angel a few more. ;-)

Response: I'm glad you liked them. :-) "Let Yourself Go Wild" is my favorite, also... the beat is perfect!

Response: I'm really glad you liked them! That song is my favorite, too. ;-)

Response: You're more than welcome!

Response: I'm glad you liked the songs! Heh, I was beyond frustrated by the time I finally got the email sent. When my daughter came running in to tell me that Mitch was seizing (because I had headphones on and didn't hear him), I just threw up my hands and growled, "My god, is *nothing* working the way it's supposed to tonight?!" That goes to show how exhausted I am... "Email, seizures, uploads... yeah, nothing is working tonight!" I'll probably be laughing about it in the morning, heh.

Response: You're more than welcome!

Response: You're more than welcome. I'm glad that you enjoyed it, heh. ;-)

Response: You're more than welcome!

Response: You're more than welcome!

Response: Thank you very much! I have a hilarious family. ;-) I hope you liked the song, I'm obsessed with it right now!

Response: I'd do that, if I could live without a fridge! Any new small appliances that come in are getting sold, though. ::wicked grin:: Let's hope that they aren't reading and decide to stop giving out freebies! I'm glad you like the song... it's my current favorite. Love it!

Response: I'm glad that it went through... Outlook kept bouncing it back to me and saying that it was undeliverable. I'm sorry if you've gotten a billion emails from me because my ISP is an idiot, heh. I'm glad you liked the song... it's my current fave. I *love* the beat!

Response: I'm glad you like the stuff! I had a lot things left over from swaps on other sites... so I guess I went a little overboard!

Response: I'm really glad he liked it!

Response: It's the OCD, I swear. Everything has to match up a certain way or else I go nuts... it nearly killed me to mix different colors of ribbon in two of the eggs! LoL! I'm glad you like all of the stuff and that you'll be able to use it!

Response: Glad you like the selections! I had a problem with this one when I sat down to do it and realized that the *only* music I turn all the way up is rock and metal!

Response: Thank you! I'm really glad you like it. :-)

Response: I was setting it up to send seven discs, but stopped myself... LoL. I love covers a little too much, I think.

Response: Glad you like it! I had a hard time with that one, LoL!

Response: I'm glad you don't mind the format! I was listening to the songs, and realized that it might be better to see the differences between the originals and the covers if they were side-by-side. I hope that I found a few that you haven't heard before! \m/

Response: Oops, sorry! I was trying to be amusing, and the things on my mind at the time were my daughter and "Oh my god... she's going to be a teen in a few years!" Hehe.

Response: I'm glad they look good to you! It was a challenge to find recipes I make often that don't include meat, heh. I gave up meat for Lent, and I keep dreaming about cows walking into Outback's kitchen with huge grins on their faces... it's really very pitiful. I'm finding a new appreciation for pasta! ;-)

Response: I'm glad you finally got it! I was starting to worry that the PO had lost it. I hope that you like some of the flavors.

Response: I was worried that you wouldn't like it, so I'm *really* glad that you do! I wanted to include things that pertained to the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Day of the Dead, but I live in eastern Tennessee... we don't have a single Catholic supply store around here! I tried to include a lot of things you could use for beading or ATC's instead. Again... I'm really glad you like it!

Response: You're welcome! I'm sorry that they got to you so late! It seems like it's taking three weeks or so to get mail to Canada... that's bugging me!

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the CD and the booklet!

Response: I'm sure you did! I just always look up the lyrics to songs I listen to because I've lost most of the low-frequency hearing in my left ear and it's hard for me to understand what people are saying. Real effort for me would be actually coming up with cover art... it never looks right when I do it! Grrr.

Response: I'm glad I was able to come up with some songs that people didn't automatically think of!

Response: I'm glad you liked the songs! I was worried that the ones I picked might be a little too eclectic or cliche, heh.

Response: Thanks! I often find myself googling the lyrics to songs (partly because I have low frequency hearing loss and can't always understand what's being said, and partly because a lot of metal is incomprehensible to everyone, period!), so I thought it would be a good idea to include them. I'm glad you enjoyed the mix!

Response: I'm glad you liked it! I always like to have the lyrics to songs, and I figured that others might, also.

Response: No problem at all - thanks for letting me know that they hadn't made it there yet! I hope you enjoy a recipe or two. ;-)

Response: And thank you for "listening". :-)

Response: My husband seized the night I sent everything off, and I forgot to put the card I'd written in. :-\ Thank you for the reminder!
